Told in reverse narrative, "Reverting to a Wild State" by Justin Torres is a tale of a relationship's trajectory; an un-love story. It was beautiful, sad, brilliant, and engaging in all of its seven (7) pages. Carefully crafted words and snippets of moments made for the haunting and rawness of it.
It's a good read once around, but it's best read twice.
My rating: ★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
